It seems like it should, but didn't.  I only got the shell window
displayed.  The contents of the window were not drawn.  I ended up changing
the logic of my program so that the dialog that I wanted to open would
cause the long winded callback to start when a button was pressed.  Before
I was popping up the window (which was generally information only) and
starting the long callback right after.  The new logic makes better sense
anyway - and actually works better from an end user standpoint.
